# Grill With Docs Stateful idea-sharpening interview that maintains project glossary and architecture records. ## Process 1. **Explore context** — inspect existing codebase and architecture before asking questions. 2. **Run Socratic interview** — execute `/grilling` applying [references/brainstorming-grill-protocol.md](references/brainstorming-grill-protocol.md): - Present architectural forks as a **Trade-Off Matrix** (2–3 options with recommendation). - Evaluate across the **7 Baseline Engineering Domains** (Security, UX, Performance, Reliability, Maintainability, Observability, Compliance). 3. **Persist discoveries**: - Record new or refined domain terminology in `GLOSSARY.md` (via `/domain-modeling`). - Record architectural decisions as ADRs in `docs/adr/` (via `/docs adr`). 4. **Route artifact**: - **High-Risk Class** (Auth, Billing, DB Schema, Public API, Gateway, Secrets) → author Formal Specification via `/docs formal-spec`. - **Standard Features** → author System Design via `/docs design` or proceed directly to `/to-spec`. When authoring documentation artifacts (ADRs, System Design, Formal Specs), author and decider fields MUST default to the user's local GitHub username (via `gh api user --jq .login` or `git config user.name`), never generic placeholders (`Team`) or AI names (`Agent`, `Claude`).
